Rearrange the following six sentences to construct a contextually coherent paragraph. Note that these sentences may or may not follow a logical sequence initially. The sentence (F), which is highlighted, will be the LAST sentence after the final rearrangement. Afterwards, answer the subsequent question.
(A) Yet, the repeated extensions of the outdated framework past December 2024, particularly the ongoing six-month delay, are far less justifiable.
(B) The previous energy strategy was launched in 2014.
(C) The Ministry will introduce a revised renewable energy strategy in November.
(D) It is expected to incorporate provisions to accelerate solar panel installation and curtail reliance on imported fossil fuels.
(E) When its decade-long phase concluded shortly after the nationwide grid failure, it was prolonged by an extra year due to these unforeseen crises.
(F) Initiating the updated roadmap mid-way through a budget cycle, in contrast to starting fresh at the beginning of a fiscal year, is far from optimal.
Correct Answer :
CDBEAF
Solution :
The correct option is CDBEAF.
Step-by-Step Logical Sequence:
1. Sentence (C) serves as the introductory statement introducing the main topic: "The Ministry will introduce a revised renewable energy strategy in November."
2. Sentence (D) naturally elaborates on what "It" (the revised strategy mentioned in C) is expected to contain: "It is expected to incorporate provisions to accelerate solar panel installation and curtail reliance on imported fossil fuels." Hence, C is followed by D.
3. Sentence (B) shifts back to provide historical context regarding the prior framework: "The previous energy strategy was launched in 2014."
4. Sentence (E) follows sentence B by describing what happened to that 2014 strategy after its 10-year period: "When its decade-long phase concluded shortly after the nationwide grid failure, it was prolonged by an extra year due to these unforeseen crises." (192014 + 10 years = 2024). Thus, B is followed by E.
5. Sentence (A) critiques the further delay/extensions past December 2024: "Yet, the repeated extensions of the outdated framework past December 2024, particularly the ongoing six-month delay, are far less justifiable." Thus, A connects logically after E.
6. Sentence (F) acts as the designated final sentence, concluding the paragraph by commenting on the timing of launching the updated roadmap in November: "Initiating the updated roadmap mid-way through a budget cycle, in contrast to starting fresh at the beginning of a fiscal year, is far from optimal."
Putting it all together, the logical and contextually coherent sequence is C-D-B-E-A-F.
